The scale used to define sound intensities?
decibel scale
How The scale used to define sound intensities is called the scale?
Really good
Define Richter Scale?
- The magnitude of an earthquake can be measured on a scale called Richter scale.- A Richter scale assigns a number each earthquake. This is also known as the Richter magnitude scale.
What scale is used to measure the energy of an earthquake?
A magnitude scale. Formerly the Richter magnitude scale was used, but this has now been replaced by the Moment magnitude scale.
Are the Richter scale and the beaufort scale the same thing?
A Richter scale used to express the energy released by an earthquake A Beaufort scale is used to derermine the sthrenth of wind.
The scale used to define sound intensities?
decibel scale
How The scale used to define sound intensities is called the scale?

What is a scale on a graph?
The scale is the numerical system that is used to define the axis of a graph.
When are different intensities of light used in a microscope?
when are different intensities of light used in compound microscope
What is the scale on a graph?
The scale is the numerical system that is used to define the axis of a graph.
How do you use a noise decibels?
A decibel is a unit of measure of how loud is a sound. Just as inches are used to define length, pounds weight or degrees temperature, decibels define sound levels.
The pH scale is used to?
The decibel scale is used to measure the loudness of sound.
Unit for measuring the volume of sound?
Decibels are the scale used for measuring the volume of sounds.
How are logarithms used in our society?
Many scales such as sound and PH are log scales. The scale used to measure earthquakes is also a log scale. Whenever the data has a very wide range, a log scale might help.
What is used to determine the earthquakes intensity?
Seismologists estimate earthquake intensity based on the reports of witnesses on the level of felt ground movement, on the amount of damage caused by an earthquake and also based on the ground accelerations as measured by seismometers. The scale used to define earthquake intensity in much of the world is the Modified Mercalli scale (before this, a scale known as the Rossi-Forel scale was used). In Europe the Macroseismic scale is in use.
What separates the scale into equal parts?
Equally spaced subdivisions. However, a scale need not be divided into equal parts. For example, the logarithmic scale which, among other things, is used to measure the volume of sound - in decibels. The musical scale is approximately logarithmic.
Sound Engineers use trigonometry?
Trigonometry is used to define triangles, but it is also useful in the representation of waves. Sound engineers, obviously, use deal with sound waves. The pitch, volume, and direction of a sound wave are all deeply rooted in trigonometry.
